Banking and Financial Services Lawyer

London, United Kingdom Origin Legal Ltd Full time

A brilliant opportunity has arisen for a junior lawyer with previous banking and finance experience looking to take the next step in their career working within an excellent team as an associate in Guernsey.
Few places can offer a lawyer the best of both worlds but in Guernsey, it really is possible to build a city-calibre legal career whilst enjoying a lifestyle that is simply unattainable in London or another major urban centre. Lawyers in this leading offshore firm are engaged in high-quality and complex international legal work, often in a far more ‘hands-on’ role than might be typical in a larger city-type firm. They enjoy a strong low-tax earning potential and are encouraged to begin building client contacts from day one, making for excellent career prospects. The working culture is friendly and relaxed but at the same time highly ambitious, with a real focus on developing commercial as well as technical acumen. Experience gained here will provide an excellent platform for your longer-term career.

For a city-based lawyer who thrives on big-ticket work but craves an escape from the rat race, few places compete with the Channel Islands, home to two of the world’s premier offshore financial centres. Jersey and Guernsey have strong and highly competitive legal sectors housing teams that number many alumni of the leading London or international outfits amongst their ranks. They do complex blue-chip work, in a nice environment without the trappings of a big law firm culture. Work-life balance tends to be good, leaving plenty of time to enjoy what is an enviable coastal lifestyle and London is only an hour away making it easy to get that city fix when (or if) you need it.

Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas (if required) and relocation.

The role is aimed at lawyers at the NQ-2-year PQE level with prior banking and finance experience. You will need strong academics (2.1 minimum at degree plus Commendation/Distinction at LPC or equivalent) and will have trained/practised with a respected commercial firm (London/Regional UK/International). Good salary with max 20% tax rate, comprehensive benefits, relocation package, excellent bonus potential.

Our team has 25 years’ experience of helping lawyers to make international and offshore moves. If you would like to find out more about this role or chat about an overseas move in general, please get in touch.
